AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 2-CENT CARMINE TYPE I WHICH IS IMPERFORATE BETWEEN. THIS IS THE FIRST WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.
Our computerized records, which include our Rarities sales from 1964 and all auctions after 1995, did not contain another example. A review of almost 800 PDF catalogues at our website found only one other. The Datz book states the quantity known as "very rare". A search of the P.F.'s online records located one other example (ex 1968 Lilly sale, described as unique).
